just a friendly reminder that bifold masks with the nose wire left in the default sharp angle are not serving you well if you're the lone-masker! i'm seeing masked selfies like this from many different people make the rounds. Image
this is a lil video i made about the importance of seal
and this is a video I made that looks at how effective earloop bifold and trifold masks actually are in large scale fit-testing studies

there is a whole book about how the NYT basically buried coverage of the Holocaust as a matter of policy. something it seems they are still doing today with the eugenics of the pandemic and all the ongoing genocides!!
en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Buried_by…
like genuinely the NYT sucks and has always been an instrument of of painting a sophisticated liberal veneer on the narratives that serve power best.
thinking about former advisor for whom getting NYT op-ed was career pinnacle and how he told me i could always reach out in a crisis but then ignored email a few months after graduation like 'help: homeless after brain surgery trying to network temporary safe space to recover'

okay for people who talk about the trauma of being kinda isolated while the news actually paid attention to a fraction of how bad things were- your conception of the world is based on the vibes from corporate news and algorithms, and you are completely unprepared to face reality.
yes the world is really messed and scary and awful, and in order to fix that we need to face it and support each other through the pain, not memory hole reality and pray that your privilege at the top of global pyramid of consumption will shield you from tragedy forever.
the horror of the pandemic didn't stop when the news stopped covering it, and the many horrors that the news never acknowledges persist regardless of recognition. but it's very clear that for a majority of the most well-off people in the world, reality is only what's on the news.

worth pointing out that the study didn't even IQ as a metric, but mentioned IQ briefly in the discussion. people reporting the study for a wider audience have zeroed in on the IQ equivalent, seemingly in an attempt to make the results comprehensible to a wider audience. (1/23)
the problem is that popular understandings of IQ and intelligence and how it is assumed to determine one's place in society are just completely busted and eugenicist and classist and racist (and have been used to justify horrible things). (2/23)
the idea that people have a level of general intelligence that you can measure like a temperature and use to meaningfully compare individuals, and that this level corresponds to how Prestigious or Important their career must obviously be... (3/23)
